john thune has got this crazy idea that we should work five days a week like normal people. it's a good thing, right? we in fact will be in session -- we are scheduled to be in session 57 more days this year than we were last year. almost two months more scheduled to be in session this year than we were last year, 12-month period. that has rolled into saturday morning on a number of occasions already. right before we left on the most recent recess, we were voting till about 2:00 in the morning on different things to get done before we left, and when we vote on the continuing resolution, we were voting until 4:30 in the morning. we rolled into saturday several times even beyond the monday through friday john thune has scheduled. we've been in -- we were in session 10 weeks in a row, first 10 weeks of this year. that is actually the first time that has happened in the senate in about 15 years. because we made that commitment to be there and work monday through friday, we have gotten a lot of president trump's nominees confirmed. we've got 21 cabinet posts that were done and th

he says that once they got those verbal commitments from the senate majority leader, john thune. there are a lot of meetings and conferences last night to be able to get to the senate and house on the same page. they were ready to go. this vote is still open. we can't call it just yet. mike johnson says they think they have the votes here. they should be on the same page sometime in the next ten minutes or less. the other thing to watch for, this is difficult here the past 24, 48 hours, this was supposed to be an easy step in this process. when they graduate to steps five and six, that's actually writing the bill. that will be harder yet. and the reason it was so complex right now, harris, is the house and senate are using a special budget process because they don't have 60 votes in the senate. they cannot overcome a filibuster. if you use this special budget process, they just need a simple majority. this is where the house of representatives had to kind of take a little bit of heat from the senate because the senate has to be able to overcome a filibuster. if they can't, this b

. >> senate majority leader john thune spoke about trump's tariffs plan, specifically against china, during remarks to reporters on capitol hill. >> well, good afternoon. we are wrapping up our first 100 days here in the united states senate and i could not be prouder of what our colleagues have accomplished, the things we have gotten done. we have moved the president's nominees through the senate and the fastest possible pace in 20 years. we did the longest continuous senate session, 10 weeks, that we have had in 15 years. and obviously we rolled back a lot of burdens and regulations to congressional review act. we passed lake and riley which the president signed into law, the fentanyl bill, signed into law, most important and consequential pieces of legislation and passed a bunch of resolutions that set us up to do things we have on our agenda along with president trump, that is to extend the trump tax cuts, obviously rebuild the military, restore energy dominance and secure the southern border at the same time we are saving money, finding ways for the government to operate in a le

but i think that you see tonight, you are see the after this trade resolution vote you see john thune with the vote-a-rama process, 50 hour starts, think thursday or friday, as you said, happens when it goes to the house interior next week going to take the president, a lot of -- arm-twist to go get done in the house -- >> all this uncertainty, comes back to that first question that i asked president trump last month in the interview watch this. >> can you give us a sense of whether or not we are going to get clarity for the business community? >> well, i think so, but you know the tariffs could go up as time goes by, and they may go up. you know i don't know if predic predictability. >> it sounds good to see you but for years the globalists have been ripping off the united states take money away from united states all we are doing is getting some of it back, and we are going to treat our country fairly. >> companies just want to know thouch clarity on what it is going to cost. >> deal will get done m&a dropped off precipitously so much volatility back-and-forth, going to be tit-for-t

[laughter] gather. today marks the 100th day of the trump presidency and i think it's been a very historic 100 dayles and in my view you could describe describe it as promises mead, promises kept. he is following through on all his promises and chief among those is what's happening at our southern border. the open borders policy pursued by the biden administration, led to all kinds of chaos and dangerous elements coming into the united states and about, if you can believe in, 12,000 or so people per day coming across our southern border illegally. a change of administration, that number plumelets from 12,000 down to 230 a day. and if you look at a year ago where we were. january,

we'll start tonight with senate majority leader john thune. senator good to see you. >> good to see you, sean. welcome to the capitol. >> it's i don't know if that's a good thing. >> as you call it the swamp, right. >> i call it the swamp. but, you know, things are working a little bit differently right now. you were able to get everyone united to get the president's cabinet through. not a small task. you didn't shut the senate down. you kept it open for hour after hour after hour. senator kennedy wanted to go home and have a beer. >> but r2. what's that? r2 or. >> 2 or 3. so kudos to you for that. senator lindsey graham was on my show the other night. said something that's really profound in my view, in the last hundred years, there's only been four times that republicans have had control of the white house, the house and the senate. this is such a historic opportunity, and maybe it only lasts two years, right? tell us what the next steps are. >> okay. well, first off, thanks, sean, and thanks to this team and our fellow senate republicans. w

i want to thank speaker of the house mike johnson and john thune, they have been working together andith the senators and the congress, men and women and i think they got something that is big league and it's very important. the biggest bill ever if we get it done and i think we will. for decades, selfridge air national guard base has stood as a crucial pillar of north american air defense i'm just when you miles north of detroit, where you're going to have a lot of car factories opening very soon, by the way, i might add, with access to the largest military airspace complex, selfridge is tightly integrated with the national all domain more fighting center. all the way back in 1917, can you believe that? wouldn't that have been a shame to close this great history for something else that wouldn't be as good? the tuskegee airmen trained here during world war ii and generations of michigan patriots have served here with great distinction. unfortunately that proud legacy was put at risk by the retirement of the key aircraft based here in particular, the a10 thunderbolt 2 war hawk which i

the house version is committed to the $1.5 trillion in spending cuts and i know john thune agreed thatd in the senate to that as well, but i didn't see the offsets in the senate version. do you feel confident that you're actually going to be able to identify $1.5 trillion in spending cuts? >> i feel very confident that we're going if to be able to do that. let me just kind of touch on that little bit. so we have different rules in the senate, and if we miss any of our targets, we lose the privilege that we have with the bill which allows us the pass it with only 51 votes. when you see billion dollars not a trillion dollars, to make sure that we actually hit those targets. so a billion dollars is the floor, not the ceiling. and yo you'll see senate republicans working very hard to be able to make sure we're not only getting to that $1.5 trillion, but i expect to see a lot more than just that. maria: well, byron donalds was just with us, and he said if there's not $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, this will not pass. do you have confidence this passes, this gets to the president's desk at

some senate republicans appear to be skeptical of the tariffs, though senate majority leader john thuneays he's waiting to see what's actually implemented. but the economic uncertainty is leading goldman sachs to raise the probability of a u.s. recession in the next year to 35%. that's up from 15% last fall. >> i think investors are going to be very nervous about all that because that that's the fodder for an economic downturn. obviously, that's not good for business. >> they're reciprocal. so whatever they charge us, we charge them. but we're being nicer than they were. >> later today, senate democrats plan to force a protest vote. they are trying to stop trump from imposing tariffs on canada. it does have a chance to pass in the senate, but will likely go nowhere in the house. and with only a day to go. major questions still remain, including if any countries will be exempt. how high they're expected to be and how long they will last. live in studio lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you. lena. one of the tariffs we already know about going into effect tomorrow is a 25% tariff on

[laughter] >> reporter: remember, i was right about jeanne shaheen, a few months ago, remember that? larry: yes, i do, that's

john thune have been fantastic by the way. [ applause ] >> they've been working tirelessly on takingext step to pass the plan for our one big beautiful bill. i like to name it that as they can. one big beautiful bill. big tax cuts and every incentive there is and it'll be a fantastic job and by the way, for the cars we're asking for interest deduction on the loan and if you build the car only in america. we do it, brian. if the car is not built in america, don't get interest rate deduction. >> thank you. >> if you build the car in america, buy a car -- if it's built in america, then you get an interest rate deduction, tax deduction. that's a big thing. going to be a big thing. that's going to pay for itself very quickly, that deduction. never happened and never had anything like that before. somebody said where did you get the idea? because it's so base basic and think it would have happened a long time ago. it never did and i'm happy it didn't because i can say it was any idea. getting closer to the debt extension and getting it passed and you'll do that, mike, and very important yo

john thune has been spectacular. mike johnson, speaker, has been spectacular.very hard and doing well. you think we will get it passed? we have to, if we don't get it past, marsha i'm blaming you. we have to get it passed. i think we will but i don't think we will have any democrat -- if we don't get it passed, your taxes go up 60% and we may not -- 68%. they will vote against it, trumped arrangement system -- syndrome or maybe they hate republicans where they have lost their confidence. they don't know what the hell is going on. we are going to get it done. it is probably going to be fully republican. we have the house, senate. we may or may not have a couple grandstanders. it would be good if you could work on anybody. if i was a democrat, i would be voting on it 100%. it is dangerous politically not to vote for it. your taxes go up almost 68%. it looks like we are in good shape i think. hopefully we will get it approved. it will be the biggest bill ever approved in the history of our country. it will be the biggest tax cut ever approved in the history of our

this was south dakota yesterday, outside an event where south dakota republican senate leader john thune was speaking. people had tape over their mouths at this protest, protesting john thune's silence in the face of donald trump's destruction of the u.s. government and increasing defiance of the us constitution. red state, south dakota. yesterday, this was today in washington. this was very dramatic. these are coffins, full size black coffins being piled up outside the headquarters of the us state department. they brought 200 adult sized coffins and six baby sized coffins, each of which represents 100,000 people who may die because of what secretary of state marco rubio and president donald trump did to the decades old, wildly successful pepfar program, which was providing hiv medications to literally 20 million people around the world. and, you know, you can live a long, full life while hiv positive if you receive antiretroviral drugs to keep the virus suppressed in your body. but president donald trump ended those treatment, those treatments mid-course for 20 million hiv positive peop

a lot of pressure on mike johnson, the speaker, a lot of pressure, then transfers to john thune over in the senate. what democrats do. how do they respond? we're a long way from 2026 and the amber midterms. then. but this is shaping up to affect policy. maybe not the politics equally. and that's the policy changes and discussions. that will be interesting. can trump do things that are in depth about policy? foreign policy is kind of moved in some ways and this 100 days because there haven't been as many accomplishments there. but what's happening in terms of the next month or so, particularly republicans have to take some tough votes. that will be something to watch. >> well, david polls are not great for the president for his first 100 days. i think he's probably the lowest of any president. you know, in this time period. that's the american public is rating him. you're. fewer. he's professor of what grade would you give? >> look, he in terms of delivery of campaign promises and the rhetoric, there are a lot of that is done executive orders. that's more sizzle than steak because tho

>> the same way i feel now, which is that i blame senator john thune for this.john thune and other senate republicans know that he is manifestly unfit and unqualified for this job. they confirmed him and abdicated their article one responsibility because they didn't want to upset the dear leader. and by doing so, they have made this nation's military less ready and less fit and fighting to take on our adversaries, particularly china and the indo-pacific. >> but is it recruitment way up? >> recruitment is one element of the military's readiness. the other element is esprit de corps and morale. the other element is our ability to procure equipment competently. the other element is how the department of defense negotiates against foreign parties. and all of these are being degraded by his lack of professionalism and his lack of managerial competence. >> democratic congressman jake auchincloss, thank you so much. appreciate your time today, sir. president trump today seemingly softening his stance on the trade war with china. but is it too late to avoid the major im

but mike johnson and john thune have done a really great job. >> mr. president, greatly influenced your decision. did you speak with anyone you know? jamie dimon did you speak with anyone? >> well, i watched jamie dimon on maria bartiromo show this morning and he was very good. he said that actually made the statement to the effect that something had to be done with the tariffs and trade. he said that he said, look, you know, at some point, but he said something has to be done with tariffs and trade. he understood it. he's very smart and very genius financially. he's done a fantastic job at the bank and he knows that. everybody knows that anybody that's even a little bit smart knows it. it wasn't sustainable. what was happening. somebody had to pull the trigger. i was willing to pull the trigger. this should have been done long ago. just like biden should have stopped the border long ago. i mean, allowed 21 million people plus into our country, many of whom should never have been allowed out of prisons and jails. they came out of prisons and jails from
